Although the term HAMEREX reminds more of a product from the local hardware store, you should give this music, from the UK’s West Yorkshire quintet originating with this strange-sounding band name attention. In 2004, the boys have done and are together since then, albeit in varying occupations, very active.

Not only that HAMEREX already have plenty of experience on the stages of Britain, with “The Lycan” the troupe has been the second EP at the start, follow the one live album and three demos. With four songs we the British are doing the waiting, with their origin one observes the boys very well.

The quintet appears namely in spite of their (at least apparent) Youth in the first place to the NWOBHM use as a source of inspiration and also shines with an incredible enthusiasm. Although the above-mentioned reference comes in the opener “Aftershocks Of Death” is not really to the fore, as HAMEREX thereby offer more of a mangy, gene Thrash tending piece of metal, but even in “The Headless Horseman” reminds one of those works, recalls to beginning of the 80s by Ebony Records were put into circulation.

Not only that, acting like the guys with similar freshness, as did troops from Schlage SAVAGE, accordingly, the sound comes from the speakers. The title track makes me even then at the very young IRON MAIDEN to think, before the boys end up with the emotional and atmospherically-led “Desert Skies” their imagination no less “British”.

What affects the music itself, you have to credit the guys who have done their cause more than just neat because HAMEREX in her compositions have considered the essence of why we have closed since then heavy metal in our hearts.

What’s missing, unfortunately, is a singer who can hold their own in this regard, because even if Chris Moules means delivers a poor idea, nor does it contribute to immature from the speakers. Too one-dimensional and really accentuate the tracks without being able to röht the boy through his program, a fact which it until next time (like in then-length album) is revised.
